Celeb Protesters

mos def katrina protest

The hip-hop artist and actor attempted to breathe life into the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of the song "Katrina Clap" outside the venue. He intended to raise awareness of the plight of post-Katrina New Orleans. And although Mos Def had obtained all proper citation needed to perform his protest song, he was still arrested by police, who assumed he didn't.
